Just before the corpse of John
Butte Holmes was lowered into the
grave at Plainfeld, n. j., the other
day, seven women appeared, each
claiming to be his lawful wife.
Holmes was not a Mormon, but his
tendencies were in that direction.
He would have died in Jail if it had
not been that he had political in
tiuence." The same sort of infu-
ence has prevented many another
rascal from suffering just punish
ment.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE Niobrara
Land and Cattle company, Incorporated
in East St. Louis, st. Clair county, I'LL.
made an assignment this morning to
Judge Kiefer, of Belleville, I'll. Their
nominal assets are $3.50, 900, upon which
they will realize from 25 to so per cent.
The liabilities are $350,000. One year
ago the round up showed $4,000 fat cattle
on hand, for which they were offered
81. 900, 900. The June round up reported
but 5000 head, and the September
round up showed no increase. Their
paper accordingly could not be met, and
they determined to wind up their affairs.
The paper is held by Western and st.
Louis banks. Newman II Farr, of the
Stockyards bank, were the principal
stockholders, and before the assignment
was made they transferred the bank to
Isaac Fl. Knox, paying him a bonus to
assume the responsibility. Mrs. Farr
mortgaged her home, Van Devanter
place, for $780, 600, to meet this bonus.
To-day the Mechanics bank, OF st.
Louis, paid the depositors Of the Stock
yards bank in full, paying out 5000, 900.
The bank will continue in the business.

ed by the military as before, the honored
guests proceeded to the depot and took

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-An interest
ing and important prohibition liquor law
case OF the state of Kansas against lei.
bold and Hagelin, brewers and distillers,
was argued in the United States supreme
u to-day. The case arises under sec
ton Is of the prohibitory law of Kansas,
which provides for the shutting up of all
places which manufacture, sell, barter or
give away intoxicating liquors in violation
OF SAID law, and Tor punishment of the
owners. The question prese lted by the
case Is whether where a citizen purchases
and improves property for business, the
subsequent act of the legislature can pro
hlblt or regulate the use of hat property
for the purpose for which it is designated
without compensation. The decision of
the court was in favor of the brewers.
Another case submitted to-day was the
murder case Of Quinn Bohannon against
the state of Nebraska. Bohannon was
on the first trial found guilty of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to i'm
%prisonment for life. He carried the case
to the state supreme court and a new trial
was ordered. He was tried the second
time on the same indictment the first
time used and this time was found guilty
OF murder in the first degree and SEN
fenced to death. The case now comes TO
this cou upon the ground that he hav-
ing been once tried and found guilty in
the second degree, he could not again be
put on trial under Indictment of murder
in the first degree without violation of
the 9Th amendment of the constitution.
Pending final decision Bohannon has
taken the case into his own hands by es-
Gaping from jail.
The reported eviction of settlers from
the unearned land grants of the St. Paul
& Sioux City railway has been brought to
the attention of Attorney General Gar
land by States Attorney General Baker,
of Iowa, in a letter in which he appeals
for federal assistance for protecting the
settlers until the question of their right to
the lands held by them can be determined
by the courts. The attorney general has
referred the letter to the secretary of the
interior for such suggestions as he may
deem proper under the circumstances.

Narrative of a wounded Survivor.

0eA
KoUTTs, Ind, Oct. lin the little
sitting room of the cottage which serves
as a hotel in this town two of the wounded
survivors of the accident still remained
late this afternoon. Herman Miller, a
bohemian boy Of his way from Dundee,
Ills. to the old country, is stretched on
one lounge in the low dark room. His
head is tearfully battered and his right leg
is fractured. The other wounded man is
Joseph McCooe, a bartender of Boston,
who, had he not been a passenger on the
fated train, would have been welcomed in
Chicago by relatives whom he has not
seen for years. His injuries are for the
most part internal and are not so severe
but that his recovery is posSibl. He
was able to tell of the awful occurrence as
follows:
Il was in the passenger coach at the
time of the accident which was next to
the last car in the train. Just before
midnight | went in the smoker, which
was just ahead of our car, and sat for an
hour and came back to the coach with a
young man who sat down near me. That
is the last I've ever seen or expect to see
of the poor fellow.
Just as | had stretched myself out TO
go to sleep, and most before | closed my
eyes, there was an awful unearthly crash,
which, God help me, | never want to
hear again. / could feel myself thrown
violently toward the top of the car, and
then | became insensible. On the way
up | realized that all was confusion in the
car, that canes, ~valises, rods of iron and
lamps were in the air about me. | must
have regained my consciousness in a very
short time, for when | awoke all was
darkness in the car and the horrible
shrieks and piercing walls of agony almost
deafened my ears.
In the end of the car iurthest from
me the stove was overturned and the
flames were just starting to life with magic
rapidity. There was some sort of new
gas lamp in the car, and the reservoirs
reaching from one to the other, the flames
leaped up the sides, and in less time than
| can tell it gas was burning the whole
length of the coach overhead. | was
wedged between two seats where I could
not move a limb of my body, and there
watched the fire as it slowly crept up. 1t
was a terrible sight.
I'm the end of the coach near the fire
| could see u lady caught between the
seats as | was. The fire slowly crept
across the car, her dress caught fire, and
in agony she burned before my eyes.
Just across from my seat | noticed soon
before the accident a father, his wife and
daughter. | saw them also crushed to-
gether and burned Just as the flames were
blazing but a foot or two away from me.
A man pulled me to the aisle and said
Come to the window He must have
mistaken me for someone else, for the
moment he looked closely at my face he
dropped me and hurried through the
window with an exclamation of evident
disappointment. | then painfully crawled
after him in safety"

attached to the pump house. For a long
time he has not used it, but has gone into
koutts every night, leaving the tank en-
tirely alone. He was asked tonight what
precautions were taken in his absence to
prevent such catastrophes as that which
occurred. lie answered not a precaution,
except a sort of thing they call a soma
phore. 1t is an English contrivance, and
is supposed to act as a signal, but it don't.
Clearing the Wreck.
The wrecking force at the scene of the
disaster numbers 300 men, and their
many lights stretch along the full length
OF the wreck, and can be seen miles away
over the marsh.
Enough of the wreck is still left to give
an idea of the mass of ruins strewn before
the tank after the collision. The freight
train in part escaped, but the front cars
were piled in a most fantastic way upon
each other. Not a vestige of any of the
passenger coaches woodwork was left.
The telescoping of the baggage car,
smoker and day coach had been complete
and the speedy flames did the rest, leaving
not a splinter, the sleeper even sharing
the fate of the others. The bodies which
the coroner found were burned into Gin
ders and covered the ground under the
trucks. At midnight the track was still
impossible.
Coroner Leatherman telegraphs the
Associated Press from Huntington at |
a. M. as follows: Cannot as yet give the
names of the killed. There were eight
adults and one child dead and two persons
wounded at Koutts. Know nothing of
any other wounded"

Leaving st. Paul.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 1.-THE presidential
party breakfasted together about O'Clock
this morning, and then drove around the
city. After the drive the party took
lunch at the Minnesota club. Large
crowds were waiting at the hotel to see
the party start, and everywhere along the
route were women and children in great
numbers. In the residence part of the
city and everywhere the president and
Mrs. Cleveland were met with pleasant
demonstrations.
At 2:30 the start for Minneapolis was
made amid the hearty farewell cheers Of
the crowd gathered. Both the president
and Mrs. Cleveland expressed themselves
as highly pleased with their visit to st.
Paul.

The Chicago & Atlantic railway officials
who went there with the coroner to-day

sources of information on this point and
they refuse positively to make public the
names of the victims. The killed and

wreck to Huntington early this afternoon
